STEVENS POINT — The Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH) boys swim team secured a commanding 100-70 win over Marshfield High School on Thursday, completing a season sweep of their Wisconsin Valley Conference rival.

Leading the charge for SPASH were dual event winners senior Landon Bicknase, junior Henry Bowling, and sophomore Tony Raczek. Bicknase claimed victories in the 200-yard individual medley (2:12.75) and the 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.27). Bowling showcased his endurance with wins in the 200-yard freestyle (1:54.72) and the grueling 500-yard freestyle (5:28.92). Raczek dominated the sprints, capturing the 50-yard freestyle (22.71) and the 100-yard backstroke (55.74).

The Panthers’ team effort was bolstered by standout performances in relay events, including a first-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:38.93) and a strong showing in the 400-yard freestyle relay.

SPASH wraps up a packed week with a trip to the Ashwaubenon Invite on Saturday before returning to conference action next Tuesday with an away meet against Wisconsin Rapids.
